The succession rules were somewhat loose, but agnatic members of the Fairhair dynasty had higher claim. After its extinction in the Middle Ages, the crown of Norway was inherited in female line, firstly by a Swedish prince, then by Danish princes and kings. Norway came to belong to Charles XIII of Sweden not only as a result of war, but also because he was a descendant of a junior branch of the Oldenburg House, the Norwegian Royal House of that time. Old traditions of Norwegian succession did not preclude succession through a female line; therefore it was relatively easy to set aside the restrictions of a relatively new constitution.
